Why go to the Drive-In Cinema?

Movie Junction Drive-In Cinema is a unique cinema experience and fun night out that creates memories forever. You can watch all the latest movies from the comfort of your own car, where you can talk, laugh, answer your phone, even smoke, or watch in complete silence if you wish. You can even have pizza, delivered direct to your car! Watch a movie while the little ones sleep, or breastfeed, and avoid babysitting costs!

Is there a clear view of the movie?

Both Screen 1 and Screen 2 have direct, clear views of the screen. At Movie Junction’s Screen 1 the whole site slopes towards the screen. For Screen 2, even though the surface is flat we designed the auditorium to enhance your experience by positioning the car spaces at the best angle for your comfort. We have noticed customers love to park on the far side of the black projector box for Screen 2, whereas people park everywhere, with no preference in Screen 1!

What if it’s raining?

Screen 1 is ideal for rainy nights. All the car bays have waterproof canopies, unique to Movie Junction; we are the only drive-in cinema in the world to have rain protection canopies! They protect your windscreen from the elements, giving you a clear view for the entire show. Take a look for yourself in our photo gallery.

How much does it cost?

A night at Movie Junction is great value for money and won’t cost the earth; from just €5 per person. You can buy your car entry online or at the gate for just €16 per car for students; family car entry is €24 for 5 adults, and a car with 2 passengers is €18. However you look at it, Movie Junction is cheaper than most large cinema chains. Visit our prices page for more information.

How can I redeem my Living Social / Groupon Voucher?

Simply drive on down with the printed copy or show us your voucher on your phone on arrival. Booking by phone or email is not essential, we operate on a 1st come, 1st served basis.

How many people can I bring in my car?
